Tūpari Pinot Noir
6 Bottle Case (750ml)
Vintage: 2019
Winemaker Description:
In 2019, we harvested the grapes at perfect ripeness. Fermentation included 25% whole bunch to encourages the ripe stem flavours and ripe tannins, creating extra layers of flavour.The crushed grapes were cold soaked for four days before fermenting to extract colour and tannin. Fermentation temperature reached 32C in the cap and the wine was plunged four times a day. Five days after fermentation (and when Glenn was happy) the wine was put into French oak barriques (30% new) to mature before bottling.
The Naked Truth:
The Tūpari Pinot Noir is captivating, with blueberry and cherry flavours and a hint of mushroom earthiness. It has a long finish with soft, mouth filling tannins.
Enjoy with:
The ultimate food wine, enjoy with a fillet of beef or a tasty chicken and wild mushroom rissotto. Also a perfect compliment to mild or creamy cheese, try with brie, camembert or a mild cheese made from sheep’s milk.
